Kerry's love of dance started when she was very young. At age five, she was enrolled in her first Ballet class. Her love of the arts continued to  grow throughout her childhood into adulthood. 

Kerry graduated from Shenandoah University where she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance Education. She also participated in an academic exchange with Ulyanovsk State University in Ulyanovsk, Russia where she earned a certification for her studies. After graduation, she accepted a position with the University. Mrs. Silva taught many genres of dance for Shenandoah University's Arts Academy for ten years.

In  2013, Mrs. Silva was offered the position of Ballet Director of Rhythm Studio.  After much consideration she accepted and has been thrilled  with her  choice ever since joining the team!

Kerry's trip to Russia was her first time abroad and it lit an even greater passion for dance and travel. Since this initial trip she has had the opportunity to travel and study throughout the world. She tries to  bring  an appreciation for the world - its people, culture, art, and  history  into her classroom. 

In 2005 Kerry married her husband Pablo Silva. They have been fortunate to travel the world together on many adventures. However, their  greatest  adventure is their day to day lives with their two beautiful  children  Maddex and Milandra.
